@Yafet Kibrom you are correct "Every digital artist knows about it". However, Do you think Epic Games (developers of Unreal) are only concerned with exposure to digital artists? Absolutely not. They also want new & established producers, directors, writers & designers to be aware of what their product can do. The more individuals (in many industries) that understand how the Unreal Engine can perform and aide in a creative idea, the more likely it will be used.

I think those are the best results when it does not just look like slightly skewed copies but you see that they all use unique processes and thinking patterns.

Challenge: listen to a fiction podcast episode and create a CGI painting of what you hear.

[@sexbenis7394]

yo thats a good idea

[@pradeepdev6294]

Niko and Sam absolutely knocked it out the park. They were both stunning. Love the gradients and hues in niko’s work. That’s my personal favourite.

I tell people at work when I sometimes have a great design idea I’ll draw it on my white board vs modeling it in cad. Why? The white board has never crashed on me yet!

I feel like Niko's version was the closest to the original Bob Ross painting, but Sam just knocked it out of the park with his Bob Ross Video Game 😆

VFX challenge: take famous movie scene and show it from a DIFFERENT but interesting angle.

The Inception city bending scene from the perspective of one of the buildings. This could get really creative.

Niko is the winner for me, even thought Sam's more like the actual image, Niko's gives me the vibes

[@WASDxMerceless]

We need an open world game made entirely out of Bob Ross art pieces now.

[@anandagaire5929]

Sam should've made 2 characters in the game so that he could say: "Every body needs a friend, even a virtual guy in BOB ROSS's woods".

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Literally loses by default for not making him a friend

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

your body's friend was the player in front of the screen all along ;)

I REALLY enjoyed watching this one. Such a great idea! The results were phenomenal! I loved everyone’s version. It really shows how talented each of you is, and how much diversity each of you brings to the table as a team member. I loved it! Thanks for sharing!

[@etoilo1494]

VFX Challenge : a moving Renaissance inspired painting, but of a famous movie stunt ! And each artist chooses his favorite stunt or can make up his own (like Niko falling off of a building). You can find such animations by looking up Rino Stefano Tagliafierro, and it's just amazing !

[@bernhardhenkes]

You guys recreating old school art in four super different ways just emphasizes how vast the horizon of digital art is. You guys really underlined the "artist" in "VFX artist" this episode!

Too bad Peter is not there, otherwise he would show everyone the power of Blender!

Unreal still would have been faster. I love blender too but let's not get over our heads. At least it doesn't crash and freeze 5 times a minute

@@didnt_ask_for_handle I think he was joking on the fact that Peter always describes blender as some resource crafted from the gods.

bob ross was a drill instructor for the air force and for a part of his 18yr military career. After his career, he promised himself to never scream again. The scenes that he paints are inspired by the places his favorite places that he had traveled.

Everyone did an amzing job. Each interpretation was unique. You all should do more

[@crashalarm3283]

Bob Ross was a notorious perfectionist. The paintings he did live where planned out, and he had a script he followed. Even his mannerisms where planned, all in an effort to show people that they can make art too.

[@SophiaAstatine]

Even if you encourage people to relax and just try, you also want to show what they can strive towards. Can hardly blame him when setting an example for millions

[@LokiDWolf]

I think all 4 were fantastic in their own unique way. Very impressive all around! And I feel so good seeing a younger gen embrace Bob Ross. I grew up watching his shows and didn't realize what I had until he was gone. Good stuff. :)

My brother and I were aspiring artists when we were younger and watching Ross made us tear our hair out because we understood from experience the difficulty of painting a scene that quickly. Pretty funny, good job guys!
